Question 27(c)
[Maximum number: 2]
Factorise fully
Edexcel IGCSE Math A Foundation 2.2.D Factorising Common Factors
Practise extracting the highest common numerical and algebraic factor from two or more terms.
How this is tested
- find the HCF of all numerical coefficients before considering variables
- choose the smallest power of each variable common to every term
- divide each original term by the extracted factor to complete the bracket
